DANIELSON <br />State Engineer <br />~~ I '~ <br />IJ-~ ~ <br />~~~.~~. <br />TO: Joseph J. Dudash, Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />FROM: Keith Vander Horst, Water Resources Engineer ~y _~A ,'/~,~ <br />Colorado Division of Water Resources /~ P~~- !/ <br />SUBJECT: New Elk Mine Technical Revision, Wyoming Fuel Company <br />MLRD File No. TR-024 <br />Water Division 2, Water District 19 <br />We have reviewed the above referenced application per your request dated September 9, <br />1991. The applicant proposes to excavate two surface runoff erosion control containment <br />structures of 0.104 acre-feet and 0.085 acre-feet capacity. These structures will be adjacent <br />to the Middle Fork of the Purgatoire River. <br />As long as outlet works aze included which allow detained water to be drained, or the <br />detained water will infiltrate into the ground within a few days, we see no problems with <br />the proposal. If, however, there will be water detained in the structures for more than a <br />few days, replacement water will have to be made available to the river to make up for <br />that amount evaporated from the ponds. Such replacement will have to be through either <br />a plan for augmentation approved by the Water Court or a substitute water supply plan <br />approved by this office. <br />Please contact this office or our Division 2 office in Pueblo at (719) 542-3368 if you have <br />further questions. <br />KVH/clf:newelk <br /> <br />cc: Steve Witte, Division Engineer <br />Danny Mazques, Water Commissioner <br />
